CNN: A Paradigm for Complexity

What is a CNN? standard CNNs - standard CNNs are uniquely- specified by CNN genes oscillations and chaos from standard CNNs complete stability criterion for standard CNNs bistable criterion coding the CNN gene a gallery of basic CNN genes does there exist a CNN gene for solving Minsky's global connectivity problem? decoding the CNN gene what task can an uncoupled Boolean CNN gene perform? bifurcation of CNN genes the game-of-life CNN gene the CNN universal machine generalized cellular automata a glimpse at some real-world CNN applications autonomous CNNs - pattern formation in standard CNNs pattern formation in reaction-diffusion CNNs nonlinear waves in reaction-diffusion CNNs simulating nonlinear PDEs via autonomous CNNs local activity - the genesis of complexity - transistors and local activity - what do they have in common? nonlinear circuit models for reaction-diffusion CNNs what is local activity? testing for local activity why is local activity necessary for pattern formation? how to choose locally-active CNN parameters? local activity and stability are different concepts the local activity dogma.
